Bloomberg's Best Photos 2014: A Suncor Energy Inc. tailings pond stands in this aerial photograph taken above the Athabasca Oil Sands near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, on Wednesday, June 19, 2014. Heavy crude from the oil sands has traded at an average of $18.70 per barrel below the U.S. benchmark over the last five years due to a transportation bottleneck in North America. The discount costs Canada’s economy as much as C$50 million per day, according to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Photographer: Ben Nelms/Bloomberg
